A Botanical Approach to Improving Muscle Health

Strengthera™ Muscle Maintenance+Vitality is a synergistic blend of extracts from two well-known botanicals from the Ayurvedic medicine tradition. The development of this complex involved screening hundreds of botanicals for their ability to promote strength, endurance, and physical function. It is the patented combination of these two extracts that gives Strengthera its efficacy.

Studies Demonstrate Enhanced Muscle Strength and Improved Physical Function for Daily Living

A 12-week double blind placebo-controlled study was conducted on 92 healthy men and women ages 55-70 years (mean age 60 years). Subjects received either 650 mg Strengthera or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. Subjects performed a prescribed resistance band home exercise program 3 times per week. Measurements were conducted at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks.

Improved Muscle Strength

Strengthera improved lower body strength vs baseline and placebo at the earliest timepoint assessed - 4 weeks. By 12 weeks, this represented an 4.2x improvement in lower body strength over placebo.

Improvement in Grip Strength

Strengthera improved grip strength versus baseline and placebo at the earliest timepoint assessed: 4 weeks. By 12 weeks, subjects in the Strengthera group improved their grip strength 4.5x more than those doing the same exercises and taking placebo (1.9 kg vs. 0.42 kg).

Improvement in Muscle Endurance

Assessed as 1RM repetitions to failure, Strengthera improved muscle endurance/active capacity versus baseline and placebo at the earliest timepoint assessed of 4 weeks. By 12 weeks, this represented a 50% improvement in active capacity over subjects doing the same exercises and taking placebo.

Improvement in Walking Capacity

Walking Capacity, measured as distance or speed, was tested via a 6-minute walk test. Strengthera improved walking capacity versus baseline at 4 weeks. By 12 weeks, the improvement was statistically significant versus placebo. This represented a 1.9x improvement in walking capacity over the placebo. A 25.64 m distance improvement was observed for Strenthera subjects versus a 13.78 m improvement for the placebo group. A 4.27 m/min speed improvement was seen in Strengthera subjects versus a 2.3 m/min improvement in the placebo group.

Improvement in Lean Mass

The Strengthera group increased their total lean mass relative to baseline. While the actual values were not statistically significant between groups, the analysis of change scores showed statistically a significant difference versus placebo in the amount of lean mass gained over 12 weeks.

Clinical Study: Strengthera Improves Muscle Strength

A 12-week clinical study featuring 92 healthy women and men (ages 55-70) taking 650 mg/day of Strengthera statistically significant improvements in muscle strength, muscle endurance and physical function versus placebo.
